The corpse of Michael Ignatieff’s Liberal leadership isn’t even cold yet, and already the left-leaning whiners are complaining Stephen Harper doesn’t have the right to govern because he only got 39.62% of the popular vote. Doesn’t have the right to govern? I wonder if these whiners realize Jean Chretien’s Liberals won majorities in 1997 with 38.46% and in 2000 with 40.85%? Bob Rae won a majority government in Ontario in 1990 with 37.6%. Under the rules of our parliamentary system, they had as much right to govern as Harper does now.
